Title： Straintronics for revoluting micro-nano electronics and photonics
Date: 2019/11/19 (Thu) 3:30 pm - 5:20 pm
Location: Engineering 5 Building B1 International Conference Hall
Summary: Solid mechanics is a classical engineering science that study the deformation deformation and motion of continuous solid media under applied external loadings. Straintronics is a new research field that applies solid mechanics in condensed matter physics. By applying strain/strain in solids, the physical properties including band structure, electronic, and optical properties, can be efficiently engineered, providing new opportunities to develop novel micro- and nano-electronic and photonic devices with enhanced performance. In this talk, I will introduce the fundamentals of straintronics for micro- and nano-electronic and photonic devices. In addition, I will present some of our recent works on the application of straintronics in silicon (group-IV) photonics.
